Pile Burning Planned on Williams Ranger District

WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Kaibab National
Forest fire managers plan to burn slash piles at the Moonset and Three
Sisters Pits Monday, January 10. A small slash pile may also be ignited
on the east side of Dogtown Lake.  
Moonset Pit is located just west
of the Parks community on the north side of Route 66.  Three Sisters
Pit is located three miles northwest of Williams, north of Elephant Rocks
Golf Course. 
Ignition of the piles is dependent
on Arizona Department of Environmental Quality approval. The forecast shows
west winds early next week. Smoke may be present for several days after
ignition.  Smoke impacts are expected in local areas near the pits.
 
The use of these pits is a community
service for citizens to deposit debris cleared from their property.  Clearing
flammable material reduces the risk of a wildfire starting or spreading
near your home.  
        For
more information, please contact Punky Moore, Fire Information Officer,
(928-635-5653).
